On the way back to the classroom, Ji Daoxuan did not follow them.
Qiu Yi asked Ming Rang: "You don't like him?"
Ming Rang glanced at him when he heard the words, "Who are you referring to?"
"Who else could it be?" Qiu Yi raised his chin in the direction where Ji Daoxuan left.
The corners of Ming Rang's lips twitched slightly, with a careless expression on his face, "I can't say whether I like it or not. It's just that I heard that he doesn't have a good relationship with the four teammates in the same company, and most of what he said is not true. talk."
"What's more," Ming Rang's words were somewhat meaningful, "It has long been rumored privately among the trainees that when the other people went to the island, they all got accompanying scripts, and the only one their company really wants to promote is him."
Qiu Yi thought for a while and said: "This time the pick is announced, and he is not in the debut circle."
Ming Rang nodded, without showing too much surprise, "This also means that on the night of the tour, someone will definitely fall out of the top seven to give up their seats to those who have reserved their seats in advance."
Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Let's not talk about whether the people who fell out of the debut circle were voted by the program group or were not popular, except for Ji Daoxuan, there are so many trainees outside the debut circle, how can we guarantee Ji Daoxuan's popularity?" Can you sit firmly in that vacant seat?"
Ming Rang looked at him like a fool, "Is there not enough means that the program team can use?"
Qiu Yi sighed and didn't speak any more.
Lin Ye walked in front and listened to the conversation between the two verbatim, and she understood the real intention of those people with ulterior motives who posted black material about him and others on Weibo.
It would be better if the trend of public opinion on the Internet can make their popularity plummet. If the previous tricks do not help, the program group will also have a second trick to change tickets.
After all, exchanging tickets on the spot at a group night is not considered the first of its kind in their program. Long before the broadcast of this program, there were bad rumors about the exchange of tickets for the finals of other programs.
The four entered the practice building and separated at the hallway entrance. Lin Ye and Jiang Lian went to another classroom to dance for the temporary teammates who were assigned to the same group at the meeting.
They spent a whole afternoon in that classroom for dance teaching and tacit understanding.
Fortunately, there are not many trainees in the group who have never learned the movements, but even so, Lin Ye has no extra time to rest. Even when going to the bathroom, he and Jiang Lian staggered.
Jiang Lian took longer to go to the bathroom than Lin Ye.
Lin Ye didn't know that the other party came out of the bathroom, sat in the unmonitored corridor for a while, and took out his mobile phone to check.
Before lunch, Lin Ye checked Weibo on his mobile phone, but he didn't have time to clear the search history. On the way back when they came back, Jiang Lian also heard the conversation between Ming Rang and Qiu Yi.
He opened the search interface of Weibo, did not search for anything related to himself, but followed Lin Ye's search records a few hours ago, entered the keyword square and took a look.
When he exited Weibo again, Jiang Lian frowned and locked the phone, contemplating himself on the dark screen for a moment, then unlocked the phone, opened the contact directory, and dialed a number.
In the few months since he entered the island, due to the director's instruction, although Ji Daoxuan's shooting time has been stable in the top few, the ranking has always been tepid. Although the popularity ranking is not high, it is not very far behind, and it is always within the top fifteen.
And in the last two rounds of elimination, there was even a faint trend of declining rankings and popularity. Among all the trainees, this is obviously a typical example of having more than enough stamina but not enough stamina.
When no one is chasing after him, he can stop in place safely and keep his own position. And when the people behind started to gather strength to chase or even overtake on a curve, he would be left far behind immediately.
The program group was not optimistic about the commercial value of Ji Daoxuan from the beginning, so they decided to send Ji Daoxuan to debut. The bottom line is that in the private discussion back then, the company behind Ji Daoxuan promised them not only money, but also the resources of their boy group after their debut.
However, when the finals were approaching, another bigger company came to them, and they were willing to use better resources to exchange Ji Daoxuan's debut position.
The program team was excited and found it strange that the people related to this company in the program had already sat firmly in the C position, and they didn't need to negotiate with such a large number of people.
After thinking about it, he still felt that it was tricky, and he politely refused with the mentality of not wanting to break the contract. The other party did not force them to agree, and even explicitly stated that they bought Ji Daoxuan's position, not to force anyone else in, but to buy a fair one.
This doesn't even have any negative impact on the entire program group. The popularity of the program ranks ahead of Ji Daoxuan, and there are many trainees whose commercial value is much higher than Ji Daoxuan. A large leek field with unlimited potential.
After all, the original intention of the program group to plan the talent show is not really to enable more talented children to realize their dreams, but only for the huge commercial value that those children can bring to them in the future.
The program team was finally persuaded, holding the promise and contract of the other party in one hand, and sending the termination contract and liquidated damages to the company behind Ji Daoxuan in the other hand.
As for who gets the vacated debut spot, it all depends on the fans' ability to make money.
Two days before the final, 20 trainees attended the 1,000-person fan meeting held by the program group. Everyone put on the blue suit uniform and black uniform leather shoes that would only appear on the day of the elimination, and appeared on the stage where they had been on several times because of their performances.
When the familiar theme song sounded from the arena, the fans in the audience raised the light boards and cheering sticks in their hands, and shouted out the names of their beloved trainees.
In their deafening shouts, the trainees sang the lyrics that they could already memorize backwards, and danced the familiar dance moves.
When the climax of the theme song comes, the fans in the audience will even stop to cheer for the trainees. The singing is no longer just coming from the stage, it also sounds from scattered corners under the stage.
The voices of the fans were like a trickle from all directions, and eventually they joined with the voices of the trainees to form a chorus.
At that moment, they were no longer fans of one of the twenty trainees, they no longer only supported one of the twenty trainees, and they no longer worried about whether the person sitting next to them was the same as themselves. Incompatible opponents.
At that moment, they are all but insignificant but essential parts of the whole chorus.
After the theme song performance, there will be singing and dancing performances by each group. The stage of four past performances is arranged on the program list, and there are also game interaction sessions interspersed in the middle.
In the game session, the trainees are divided into two groups for a time-limited competition. The content of the game is rich and diverse.
The team that loses the game will not only accept punishment, but will also draw some fans on the stage and let the trainees fulfill a wish of the fans.
As soon as the host finished speaking, Qiu Yi's fans, who were seated close to the stage, yelled hard: "Qiu Yi—listen to my mother—you have to lose the game for me, you know—Mom won't let you win—"
There was laughter in the audience seats, and private discussions were worthy of fans following the right master. The trainees on the stage couldn't help laughing, and Qiu Yi himself even covered his face with his hands, so as not to face the other people on the stage.
The grouping is based on the latest ranking of the trainees. Trainees ranked in odd numbers are automatically grouped into the same group, and trainees ranked in even numbers are grouped into the same group.
The captain of the single array is Jiang Lian, and the captain of the double array is Ming Rang.
Before the game started, the grouping situation made all the CP fans excited, and they broadcast live the grouping situation of the older brothers and younger brothers in their own super chat.
Lin Ye and Jiang Lian were in the same group again, but there were still several people between them, they didn't stand together, and they never talked or looked at each other.
The first is a game of buying vegetables and settling accounts. Twenty trainees need to participate in this round of games collectively. The host marked the seventeen trainees with a price of 50 cents, leaving Jiang Lian, Wen Mian and Xia Dongchan with 1 yuan each.
"Suppose I went grocery shopping this morning and bought vegetables that cost four yuan and fifty cents. Then you have to hug other people in a short period of time. No matter how many people are in the group, the final total price is a small group of four yuan and fifty cents , you will be able to advance smoothly. Trainees who place an order or whose price is not four yuan and fifty cents will be eliminated. Do you understand?" the host asked.
The trainees smiled and replied: "Understood."
The host nodded and asked the trainees to spread out. At the same time, the cheerful music suddenly sounded, and the trainees slowly moved their limbs, dancing with the music with ease.
The host said abruptly: "This morning, Jiang Lian went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with a basket on his shoulders."
The scene of Jiang Lian carrying a vegetable basket to buy vegetables was too horrifying. Before he could say the money for the vegetables, the fans in the audience roared with laughter.
The host walked to the edge of the stage, "Then how much did our C seat buy for the food?"
The answers given by fans are endless.
The host came back from the stage, "Listen up—" he cleared his throat, "Our C, bought a total of five yuan worth of vegetables!"
The stage suddenly fell into chaos. Four fifty-cent trainees hugged three one-piece trainees, Lin Ye hugged nine other fifty-cent trainees, and the remaining three fifty-cent trainees were eliminated with great regret.
The fans laughed in the audience, saying that the three eliminated trainees had no sense of game experience, and many people even made photos of the three of them sitting by the stage watching other people play games after the meeting. An emoji package with the text "Happiness belongs to others, we have nothing".
After everyone laughed, the game continued.
"The next day, Jiang Lian handed over the arduous task of buying vegetables to Ming Rang." This time, the host didn't hold back, "Ming Rang bought vegetables worth three yuan."
The trainees quickly dragged the people around them into a group.
Two groups of six 50-cent trainees hugged each other, three one-dollar trainees stood together, and the remaining two 50-cent trainees stood alone in the center of the stage.
The single trainee yelled at his roommates in the group of six: "Brothers! The promised blessings and hardships are shared! If you don't come, I won't let you in to sleep tonight!"
The fans in the audience laughed again, and even the trainee who helped shout loudly condemned his roommates.
The situation on the stage reversed in an instant. Lin Ye's group of six was easily dismantled by the opponent's few words. The two people who were supposed to be alone easily got the other four teammates. people.
The Yeqing sisters at the scene were shocked, and immediately shouted at the top of their voices: "Baby, call your roommate for help!"
In the countdown sound of the host, Lin Ye quickly swept his gaze towards the crowd, not knowing who he was looking for.
Jiang Lian walked out of the three-member group first, then called Ming Rang and Qiu Yi from another six-member group, and temporarily defected to Lin Ye's side, and the five formed a three-yuan group.
The moment Jiang Lian left the three-person group, fans screamed uncontrollably from below the stage.
In stark contrast to the inexplicably excited and excited screams of the fans, it was the two small groups that were torn apart by Jiang Lian and became incomplete.
The two trainees who were together quickly pulled over the two fifty-cent trainees. The other two 50-cent trainees were eliminated in the end.
The host announced the food money for the third time, "On the third day, the person who bought the vegetables was replaced by Qiu Yi. He bought two potatoes and three cucumbers at the vegetable market, and the total cost was four yuan and fifty cents. But—"
Amidst the trainees' panicked footsteps, the host's voice turned sharply downwards, "The third most popular trainee may have graduated for too long and his math has become poor. So he miscalculated the food money."
Fans laughed until their facial muscles ached.
Qiu Yi, who was cueed again, twitched slightly at the corners of his eyes on the stage.
The host asked the thousand people in the audience: "How much do you think the real food money should be?"
Fans unanimously spoke like never before: "Two dollars and fifty cents—"
The host spoke fluently and decisively, with an unconcealable smile in his tone: "Okay, then at the request of our fans, Qiu Yi bought vegetables for two yuan and fifty cents at the vegetable market."
Before Qiu Yi could say anything, he was dragged over to form a group.
Jiang Lian for one piece, Ming Rang for fifty cents, and Xia Dongchan for one piece formed a group of two and five yuan.
Among the remaining 12 people, one piece of Wen Fang and 50 cents of Lin Ye, and the other two 50 cents of the training group, five 50 cents of the training group. There are also three fifty-cent trainees with nowhere to go.
One of them happened to be Wen Fang's roommate, and the other party also imitated the trainee who instigated his roommate in the last round and said, "Wen Fang, come here now. From today to the day of the group night, I will pack all your socks."
The fans in the audience were shocked. Most of them were girls, and most of them had boyfriends. They knew how much straight men hated washing socks. I also know how much the speaking trainees have paid in order not to be eliminated.
Wen Mian's heart was immediately moved, and he put the hand holding Lin Ye and said, "I'm sorry everyone, the temptation is too great for me to resist."
The roommate succeeded in instigating rebellion, showing a triumphant smile.
Lin Ye and the other two 50-cent trainees were once again candidates for elimination. He was ready to be eliminated, turned around and walked towards the side of the stage amidst the host's countdown.
Jiang Lian stopped him, "Come here."
Lin Ye walked over.
Reminiscent of the last round of Zhongjiang Lian temporarily dismantling the team and reorganizing, the other two trainees were also full of expectations, and followed them.
Ming Rang, who was standing beside Jiang Lian, also asked, "Shall we do another reorganization with Lin Ye?"
Jiang Lian glanced at him, but didn't speak.
A bad premonition suddenly rose in Ming Rang's heart.
Facts have proved that sometimes a man's intuition is not as bad as a woman's sixth sense. In the next second, Jiang Lian hooked his lips meaningfully, pushed him out of the circle, pulled Lin Ye into the circle with his backhand, and held the opponent's hand.
Liu Mingrang stood outside the circle, his face was full of shock and disbelief at the beginning, and then he raised his eyebrows with a smile that was not a smile.
Even after many years, Ming Rang's emoji of "emphasizing sex over friends and shocking my mother" still maintains a high popularity in the major CP circles.
He turned around and said calmly, "Qiu Yi."
Without saying a word, Qiu Yi let go of the other people beside him and walked towards Ming Rang. The two and the other three successfully formed a group, and three more trainees were eliminated.
The fans in the audience watched two wonderful dramas one after another. Their brains were repeatedly tested on the verge of hypoxia, and the balance in their hearts repeatedly hesitated and hesitated between the two pairs of CPs.
In the end, it all turned into a sobbing and choking sentence: "The CP I ate is real! The dormitory I love is also real! All four of them are real! I don't accept rebuttals!"
